I had to reinstall it once when i had messed up the wiicontrol file, and didn´t find it in the repos either
but after a couple of hours it was there again
I don´t know why it´s like this, but try again later and you might find it :)

Re: Wiicontrol Application for Maemo
 

i honestly don't know how to install Wiicontrol, i added extras-devel and found wiicontrol, but it says unable to install, and then i'm lost at what to install as for python. i also cant seem to find the address for the garage repository?

BUMP

Sorry to bump this older thread, but I just got my n900 today and I am in love :D ! I can get my wiimote and my n900 sync'd with wiicontrol, it will control the volume and such! But when i load up the snes emulator it doesn't control the game. Anyone else had this problem and know a solution?

Re: Wiicontrol Application for Maemo
 

did you actually go into the emulator settings and set new key binds for the wiimote? sounds like you left the default keybindings that use the N900 keyboard.

Re: Wiicontrol Application for Maemo
 

I did go into the emulator settings and changed it to "snes mouse". The more i read I think i need to go into the wiicontrol script and edit some file, but i dont have any idea how to even get to the usr/bin and if I did i'd prly break something lol

Re: Wiicontrol Application for Maemo
 

How you did that ?
I edit the file as root with vi. The 69 Line is the hotspot :)
I changed everythng there, even the up,down,... to letters. Now the wiimote uses all buttons exept the B. Nunchuck did not work for me, but im going to test a few things today.

Re: Wiicontrol Application for Maemo
 

Does this support add-ons like the nunchuck/classic controller?

Re: Wiicontrol Application for Maemo
 

Even if you get all the buttons of a wiimote working you still don't have enough without a classic controller hooked to it.

Re: Wiicontrol Application for Maemo
 

I have a question regarding this as well.
I have mapped the arrows and the 1 & 2 buttons for Openarena which makes the game very playable I must say.

However how to get the accelerometer to work with the wii.
I want to use the accelerometer as well as the buttons.
so for example for aiming in this game.
or for driving in a emulator?

Is this possible?
I also suggest that the developer of this app, great a gui for the control mapping. That way things are much easier for everyone.

Otherwise great app so far thanks :-)

Re: Wiicontrol Application for Maemo
 

Indeed wiicontrol is a cool application.

I also suggest to add an icon to the application, e.g. in google I found the attached one taken from "http://www.jouwpagina.nl/fotos4/guntronix/remote.png".

It has to be saved as "usr\share\icons\hicolor\48x48\hildon\wiiremote.pn g" and activated editing file "usr\share\applications\hildon\ukwii.desktop" (adding line "Icon=wiiremote") and rebooting the device.
